Aikido is a traditional Japanese martial art created by Morihei Ueshiba (O-Sensei) in the early 20th century. As the physical practice of philosophical principles developed by O-Sensei, Aikido strives for the ultimate goal of peaceful resolution rather than defeat. Composed of three Japanese characters: Ai, meaning harmony; Ki, spirit or energy; and Do, the path or the way, the word Aikido thus signifies the "Way of Unifying Life Energy". In this regard, O-Sensei created a martial art in which the preservation of one’s attacker is equally important as one’s own self defense.

Aikido Techniques is an app that offers a wide range of techniques, vocabulary and info for the beginning, intermediate and advanced aikido practitioner.

Aikido Techniques is available for iPhone, iPad and iPod and offers close to 200 techniques through a searchable and categorized database. Every single techniques is explained step by step through high resolution, full color photography.

The app contains a glossary containing close to 500 vocabulary words, searchable and cross-connected.

The info pages in the app are a portal to beautiful styled wikipedia pages, bringing you in contact with the full extent of knowledge about aikido.

You are offered a technique of the day through the homepage and you can create your own favorites list.

You can also share all techniques outside of the app with your friends on Facebook.

I have found several of the descriptions for techniques in this application helpful as a quick reference while studying Aikido in between classes at my dojo. It was helpful for my most resent belt evaluation.

HOW CAN I GET THE UPGRADED VERSION -- GREAT APP!! One of the best app out there on understanding Aikido and the mechanics of the techniques...the photos are very clear , step by step to assist in understanding what is exactly happening with Uke and Nage

Aikido is a very intelligent and specialized martial art requiring detailed knowledge of the physical forces of the body and which directions a joint, arm, and hand can move and not move to control blend and then be in control of the direction of your opponent by using his force against him through using his own strength of momentum against him.. The psychological aspects and philosophical underpinnings of the art are very powerful.
